That is a trio of very interesting figures!

Tauros is looking good, never been sure on elysian helmets, I blame the internet every time I see them all I can think of is 'deal with it'. I'm happy I've been able to avoid camo up until now, it definitely does sink some time but it's worth it.

The reds on the Krieger are already looking spot on, they look too good to be loyalists! Looking forward to the harly being finished, really want to get a squad just to get some freehand practice.

Thanks guys! Red is one of my favorite colors to paint, and it blends so damn nicely!

Krieger got the start of his primary color (another gray )


Im aiming to get the uniform color to a shade similar to German Field Gray, which I've read is a sort of slightly green/brown gray. Fitting as these guys are VERY German influenced.
Plus it should fit nicely on an Urban themed board.



And I put some decoration on the white areas of the Harlequin...


Obliterated the shading on the white, but as a practice bit, I guess not terrible.... :/ Don't know where to go with it at this point, especially the coat. Absolutely no clue what color to go with. Gonna paint the girdle and mask a weathered gold, probably. Gems probably red?

BLACK inside of the coat, highlight with grey. Do a checkered back on the coat with several colors. Orange, white, blue, teal, and yellow.

Nice work on those checks, Ramos.

Interesting Harley so far to be sure. IG looks very IG

Nice red!

The checkered pattern looks awesome, I would go with a bright yellow and a central stripe of checks in blue on tha back of the coat.

Here's the back of the coat, for those of you wondering what I have to work with:




SS: I like that. Yellow would really make it pop, though checks down the middle might get lost in the details/be hard to do cause of the belt thingy.




As far as panda's idea goes, it brought this to mind:


Not my work, of course.


Hmmm.... a deal of pondering is required. You guys are giving me so many good ideas...

Do the checks on the bottom of the coat then, and maybe on the end of the sleeve with the pointing hand.

Hmm, I like the bow... How about something Japanese inspired...? Cherry tree, koi, geisha, samurai.... It'd give you chance to try some cool freehand!

Oooohhhhh YB.... You struck a weak point with me. I have a certain fondness for Japanese culture...

Can't believe I didnt think of it earlier. I LOVE that idea! Now I need to do it justice!

light pink and cherry blossoms... or silver-grey and a stylized koi... Awesome!

I say push yourself to try something really left of centre! freehand and bright contrast will really be cool! go for it man you got the skills!

Nice job so far on the Harli'. Look forward to seeing more freehand on him.

I did have a lot of fun painting this pink..... I think I might have caught something from the Slaanesh stuff Nerd's got going in his thread...







The Harlequin now has a lovely pink kimono-inspired jacket.

That's really nice. Keep going. Very cool.

Wow! Nice work on the cherry blossoms!

Speechless...

Very nice indeed. I saw something similar on a farseer once, I think eldar work well with the theme.

Yeah Boi!!!! that looks mad as hell dude! fantastic freehand on the cloak seriously good! I'm pleased the pink is taking you over..... Mwahahahahaha!

Lovely.

Aw geez you guys.... Thanks ^ ^

I think its kinda rough, especially compared to some of the stuff Ive seen around here... It is nice to have it so well received, though... So thank you

I really like the concept of Kimono-themed Eldar.... If ever I happen to acquire a few warlocks and farseer I think Ill make a themed seer council or something. Could be really cool!

I do agree with ya WM that theyre uniquely fitting for it. No other army has the feel for it... it just seems like the Eldar have that touch of elegance that really lends itself to the theme.


Bit of a supply drop today: All paints for WMs upcoming Mymaera Eldar. The scheme is really unique, and I think I've found the perfect colors for the job! I also got another pot of Vallejo Liquid Gold, as mine has kinda dried out. Now that I know how to use it, this will be less of a problem. They were out of Old Gold, so I got "Rich Gold", which is a little less orange.

Progress continues on the Krieger:






And the harlequin got some Liquid Gold.

That coat is stunning.

Crikey! that liquid gold is really 'gold' isn't it! wow that is rich and cold, looks great though, now keep painting I want to see that finished :-)

Thanks!!

@nerd: Yeah I love the finish these paints give. I do prefer the color "Old Gold" opposed to this one (Rich Gold), as its much warmer. Though Rich Gold is still a lovely color, and all it takes is a good bit of washing to get it to look proper!



Ok, so the Harlequin and Commissar are complete, and only need to be varnished (hopefully the weather will cooperate. Its apparently monsoon season here!) The Krieger needs only a couple details more and he'll be done too.

With nothing but drying time on my hands, I whipped up a test for WMs upcoming Eldar scheme: The Craftworld Mymaera.



Overall, Im pleased. The Jade Green areas are actually a bit more Green than the pictures indicate, but I think it makes for a particularly striking scheme. We will be going with red gems and white weapons on these guys.

Beautiful!

Looks amazing! Very excited to start with Eldar.

That looks lovely Ramos.

Looks like the start of a pretty colour scheme.

I like too

Very nice!
